Guy Humor

The following is an excerpt from The Adventures of Anthony, concerning one of LATE's most intrinsic features: humor.


hu-mor (n.)
1. The quality that makes something laughable or amusing; funniness
2. That which is intended to induce laughter or amusement
3. The ability to perceive, enjoy, or express what is amusing, comical, incongruous, or absurd.

But there is a term used just as frequently that is less definable, yet you know exactly what it means. This being the phrase "guy humor".

Right away you have a vague idea of what this describes. Guy humor is basically known to be crude, dirty, physical in nature, and often at the expense of others. When you think of guy humor you think of burps, farts, the slapstick of The Three Stooges, practical jokes, and painful blows to the groinal region.

So then, I ask you: if this is guy humor ... what is girl humor???
